A little change of pace…

Frank Sinatra - Come Swing With Me! Capitol 1961

Hey Steve,

Our friend Brian is correct. I've been having a ball squeezing the most performance I can out of my streamer & DAC. I'll be back though

Oscar Peterson Trio - We Get Requests. Verve reissue 2019, originally 1964

Just arrived, know nothing about her, a shot in the dark. 

Molly Tuttle & The Golden Highway "Crooked Tree" 

2022/Nonesuch 

Produced by Jerry Douglas 

Miles Davis - Miles Davis' Greatest Hits. Columbia reissue 1977, originally 1969

@slaw 

Very nice album Steve. I’ve had it on CD for a long time, but the vinyl, well….😉

BTW, the phono stage is sounding great! Break-in is important on all components/parts!

@bkeske 

+2  Both highly acclaimed Concord Jazz releases CJ-253 Monty Alexander and CJ-385 Gene Harris. Both are NOT in my 70+ CJ collection. Which recording has the better SQ?

@dayglow

Both are really good. Concord is almost always excellent. I might give a slight advantage to the Gene Harris LP.

@bkeske

Thx for the quick reply. Since the original CJ vinyl catalogue ended at CJ-400(George Shearing/Piano 1990) correct me if wrong. The Gene Harris Quartet "Listen Here!" could be one of the last 5 star recordings on original Concord Jazz vinyl.

Tool "Fear Inoculum"

2021/RCA /5lp box

This package is 5 lps with etching in side two of each lp. What a waist of an opportunity. What a waist of our resources!

So far sounding very good. Quiet vinyl. Not quite as analog sounding as my copy of

"Aenima". 

splitting hairs, but I Do do that on occasion.

@dayglow 

It was close. I wasn’t sure, so checked Discogs, and a live Gene Harris concert was the last vinyl from that period,  #397. I’ve never heard it.
 

The Modern Jazz Quartet - The Last Concert (thank goodness it wasn’t, as I saw them about 10 years later, and it was indeed wonderful). Atlantic 2LP gatefold 1975

 

the bobby hamilton quintet unlimited - dream queen

not usually a RSD release guy but this reissue was a must have in my world. the record was basically unobtainable til now - highly regarded and sought after by the select few who were even aware of its excistence. this repress is still available direct from the label. bernie grundman remastered it 

As if I ever need an excuse to listen to this record twice in one night….

A comparison is in order.

The Cars - The Cars - Mofi 

Bob Marley - Exodus - O/P

Colter Wall - S/T 

Rush - Moving Pictures - 40th anniversary reissue 

@6t5-gto ,

I bought The Police box. Sounds great at last hearing. 

Soft spot for GITM !

If you're like me, even at my age, when the music hits me, I bolt straight up and play air guitar;

gwenifer raymond - strange lights over garth mountain

 

gwenifer plays acoustic guitar (sometimes banjo - check out her version of idumea on youtube) in the john fahey style and she absolutely rips. heavy and zoned out cosmic plucking. this is her newer album but everything she’s put out has been good

Great to hear, Sir 

Working too much and not listening nearly enough but breaking in a new table and cart 

My issue with the "Local Hero" from Abbey Road,  

No soundstage spread at all.

Recently got the Mark Knopfler box.  So far, 3 titles in, Love it!!!

 

 

 

That is a great Calexico album Steve. Thanks again!

Note: Check out "Travelall" & "Tool Box" from them when you have some time. Similar style, think you'll enjoy...

Allman Brothers Band - Seven Turns

1990/2015 Epic/Friday Music remaster

Good job by Friday Music. Much better than the Mercury remasters of their first two albums.
